I prefer WoW over Guild Wars. Like he said above me, The game in my opinion is unbeatable. There is so many different things you can do in wow, its almost endless. From creating your own potions to flying around on a dragon. WoW has everything you could ever ask for in an mmo. I personally loved the PvP, you are not restricted to movement or anything, you can indeed jump around your opponent while slashing him. The only con i see to it is the monthly fee and the fact that it can sometimes get very long and frustrating.

As for Guild Wars, I haven't played much of it. I did notice that the models don't really change when entering different places, just the skins do... makes it a bit cheesy. The GW community also has nothing on the WoW community, people aren't as dedicated and hardcore about it. The PvP Arena was fun, they did a real good job with that. What i also didn't really enjoy was that your character is very limited to his appearence. The game has no monthly fee which is a great plus and also not expensive at all to purchase in stores.

All in all, I would go for WOW over GW.

I like what lokstah wrote...and this is the heart of what I would like to get down to in this forum...do you take a clean slate approach?  or combine the Pros altogether?...is technology there to support your idea??  How will you make that awesome single player game experience with the interactivity of an MMORPG community?

Age of Conan looks as though it is at least trying something new, with a more interactive system.Erandel

What exactly would you expect from a MMORPG?
You kill things, you get loot, you kill other players.

That's all people want to do anyways, so what's going to change that?

The only fun in MMORPGs is playing with a friend because the worse thing about MMOs is having to play with other people you don't know.

Comparing the two is like saying: Whats better?  A 1994 Jeep with Dana 60 axles, detroit lockers, and 37inch tires or a GTO with a 454 crate engine with a blower on it?  Both serve different purposes, while both being extremely fun.

The two games are way too different.  Guild Wars isnt even a MMORPG...its more of a MMORPG-alternative, if anything.

WoW is the whole deal: its got great PvE content, a good community, a persistant world, and awesome PvP content.

Guild Wars falls short in PvE and quests, its world isnt persistent (more like a game of Diablo 2, except lobbies are towns), but the PvP content is [supposedly] the best around for an online RPG.
